The thirty-sixth chapter of the **Samudghāt** [257] states that each of the twenty-four **Daṇḍakas** should be applied to the twenty-four **Daṇḍakas**. This results in a total of 1056 **Pālapakas**. In the **Nārak** realm of **Kevalisamudghāt**, there is no past or future **Kevalisamudghāt** because **Kevalisamudghāt** can only occur in the human state. It is not possible in any other state. A being who has achieved **Kevalisamudghāt** does not wander in the cycle of existence because **Moksha** is attained within a **muhūrta** after **Kevalisamudghāt**. Therefore, there is no past or future **Kevalisamudghāt** in the **Nārak** realm, which is different from the human state. Similarly, from the **Asura-kumāra** realm to the **Vāimānika** realm (excluding the human realm), there cannot be any past **Kevalisamudghāt**. The implication is that those who have achieved **Kevalisamudghāt** in the human state do not reside in **Nārak**. Therefore, past **Kevalisamudghāt** is not possible even in the human state. Among the **Nārakas** existing in the present time, countless are eligible for **Moksha**. From this perspective, future **Kevalisamudghāt** is considered countless. Similarly, in the realms of **Asura-kumāra** and other **Bhavana-patis**, as well as the **Pṛthvīkāyika** and other four **Ekaindriya** realms (excluding plants), the three **Vikalaindriya** realms, the five-sense **Tiryāñca** realms, the **Vāṇavyantara** realms, the **Jyotiṣka** realms, and the **Vāimānika** realms, there cannot be any past or future **Kevalisamudghāt** in realms other than the human realm. Plants cannot have past **Kevalisamudghāt** in the human state because they attain liberation in the same existence after **Kevalisamudghāt**, making it impossible for them to be born as plants again. However, future **Kevalisamudghāt** is infinite. This is because among the plant beings existing in the present time, there are countless beings who will leave the plant state and attain **Siddhi** through **Kevalisamudghāt** in the next existence or through tradition. Humans may or may not have past **Kevalisamudghāt** in the human state. When many humans have achieved **Kevalisamudghāt** and attained liberation, and no other **Kevali** has achieved **Kevalisamudghāt**, then the absence of **Kevalisamudghāt** should be understood. When **Kevalisamudghāt** occurs in the human realm of humans and there are excellent **Shat-Pṛthaktva** (from two hundred to nine hundred), then future **Kevalisamudghāt** may be countable or uncountable. In the present time, there may be countable or uncountable humans who will achieve **Kevalisamudghāt** in the human state in the future. These twenty-four **Daṇḍakas** are of this type, in which past and future **Kevalisamudghāt** are discussed. All of these together constitute 1056 **Ālapakas**. These **Pālapakas** should be spoken in their respective places from the **Nārayika** realm to the **Vāimānika** realm. 1. (a) **Prajñāpanā**. **Malayavṛtti**, **Abhi**. **Rā.
